Till their sojourn in Egypt the Hebrews dwelt in tents. They then for the first time inhabited cities [1Mos 47:3 ; 2Mos 12:7 ; Hebr 11:9 ]. From the earliest times the Assyrians and the Canaanites were builders of cities. The Hebrews after the Conquest took possession of the captured cities, and seem to have followed the methods of building that had been pursued by the Canaanites. Reference is made to the stone [1Kong 7:9 ; Jes 9:10 ] and marble [1Krøn 29:2 ] used in building, and to the internal wood-work of the houses [1Kong 6:15 ; 1Kong 7:2 ; 1Kong 10:11 ; 1Kong 10:12 ; 2Krøn 3:5 ; Jer 22:14 ]. “Ceiled houses” were such as had beams inlaid in the walls to which wainscotting was fastened [Esra 6:4 ; Jer 22:14 ; Hag 1:4 ]. “Ivory houses” had the upper parts of the walls adorned with figures in stucco with gold and ivory [1Kong 22:39 ; 2Krøn 3:6 ; Sal 45:8 ].
The roofs of the dwelling-houses were flat, and are often alluded to in Scripture [2Sam 11:2 ; Jes 22:1 ; Matt 24:17 ]. Sometimes tents or booths were erected on them [2Sam 16:22 ]. They were protected by parapets or low walls [5Mos 22:8 ]. On the house-tops grass sometimes grew [Ordsp 19:13 ; Ordsp 27:15 ; Sal 129:6 ; Sal 129:7 ]. They were used, not only as places of recreation in the evening, but also sometimes as sleeping-places at night [1Sam 9:25 ; 1Sam 9:26 ; 2Sam 11:2 ; 2Sam 16:22 ; Dan 4:29 ; Job 27:18 ; Ordsp 21:9 ], and as places of devotion [Jer 32:29 ; 19:13].
